Taurus side skirts - modification and installation

[sunset_tintiner]

Okay. I don't fully get why people hate the Taurus skirts so much, but THAT brought my french toast halfway back up my throat. It looks like some shit universal armrest you'd get at AutoZone or something. Doesn't go with the interior at all, and looks totally out of place.

Agreed, i LOVE the idea of the probe console, it just looks awkward...

Here's the probe console. It slides back and licks to reveal a cupholder, and then flips up so you can put CD's and stuff in it. I also wired it to have amber lighting inside ;)

hard to see cause they are black but heres my take on the taurus skirt, white
they looked terrible....never been happier than them in black like this

OK, because it took me about 5 hours to get one of them clean, of course the paint is pitted badly so I may have to do it on the other one anyway. BTW I got the skirts for free with the purchase of a ford probe GT console, which fits the E30 pretty well.

pics of this probe Thinger!

To my knowledge, Alpina doesn't make side skirts.

Rare as FUCK, and probably the most balla E30 item, bar none. They look so goddamned sick, they look like a 2 piece m-tec 1 skirt.

ya i like the iS lip and all but i dunno...its a daily driver, and i already ripped off my i lip once when a damn semi blew a tire next to me...hard to justify 3x the price for something thats going to die a horrible death lol

[robtech]

get an is lip...hit that with black as well and you'll be in business

[gotKRAUT]

its just a cell phone pic but i immediately wanted to vomit when i saw it lol

yanked them off imediately, sanded them down and painted them black...i have so much black on my car i figured id just keep the contrast going :)

[gearheadE30]

Do you happen to have any pics of them in white?

I just got some skirts for my Alpine. These things take forever! Are you guys sanding off all of the paint, or just primering and then sanding?

if the current paint is in decent shape, you can sand that down just til its smooth and just primer over it. Some shops even use old paint as primer, just sand it down and shoot over it.
